1-day, in-person course

CPD accreditation is being sought (6 CPD hours)

Aims:

Health-related quality of life (QoL) is an essential outcome in contemporary clinical trials. This course will provide an overview of QoL assessment in oncology, including selecting appropriate QoL instruments and implementing, analysing, and interpreting QoL data across trial phases (I–III) and real-world studies.

The course will also cover incorporating QoL into grant applications and protocols, and its use in decision-making to support the implementation of new interventions into clinical practice (e.g. surgery or radiotherapy) or for market authorisation and market access of new cancer drugs. Sessions will be interactive and based on real-life examples.

Target Audience:

This course is for researchers, clinicians, healthcare professionals and statisticians from universities, pharmaceutical companies, NHS, and regulatory and health technology assessment agencies. No prior knowledge of quality of life is required.

The course will run between 09:00-16:45.
